Dave Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Why the hell is Skysports headline for our win today is "Newcastle cope without Carroll" Probably because he's our best player, and we coped without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Leave him out or at most on the bench for the Stevenage game. Bestie, Shola or Ranger should be able to do a job there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Would be great to have in on the bench against West Ham even if its for the last 10, as he will have another 10 days recovery as he shouldnt be needed for Stevenage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'd be astonished if he's not back for Sunderland. Honestly think he'd tell the physio he was good to go even if he was still in a bit of pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly think he'd tell the physio he was good to go even if he was still in a bit of pain. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6631191,00.html "We debated when he got this injury how serious it was with the medical staff and the answer is that we don't know," said Pardew after the win over Wigan. "He will definitely miss West Ham and I think he'll definitely miss Stevenage (next Saturday), but talking to the boy, he thinks he is ready for Sunderland already. "I've got to make a call on that game as to whether he is putting himself at risk and we'll have to see, but it's touch-and-go." Good shout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackem CH's will shit themselves when they see him in the tunnel. Mind games ftw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 i've always had it in my head that he'll be back for the mackems, miss the wigan and west ham game, to be honest i don't think he would ever have played against Stevenage even if he was fit and expect him to be raring to go for the stadium of light.

Ronaldo Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Put Carroll's feet in a vice and there's some truth to that statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'd say Shola's first touch is pretty good, it is his second touch which is the frustration. When he doesn't have to think he is a good instinctive footballer. However a mental block gives him the tendency to cock up easy things a lot after he has done all the tricky stuff.

Ishmael Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Reckon there is some truth in that. Just that Ameobi's good/excellent touches are so ridiculously sporadic and separated by 10/20 clumsy stumbles, which you may interpret as dribbling. Carroll's touch is just average. Does fuck up now and then in rather Sunday league like ways, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 He brought it down beautifully today before he fluffed the pass to Lovenkrands. The Carroll situation is an unfortunate one. He'll be missed against West Ham no doubt but Stevenage for me is just a repeat of Accrington in the CC, we'll field a mix of youngsters and fringe players and look to get a result. Sunderland is a really big one and I'd love to have him back but not at the risk of further injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 So did Carroll really have a "late fitness test" today or was that just 'Sky Sports News' bullshit? I can't imagine him having a late fitness test, failing it and then being ruled out for a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
